Well done for a plastic part!

Although made of plastic, it's well made, moves well; The only negative is the "lock" to keep it from sliding once installed. It's a little hard to close with gentle kids' hands, but it works. No problem with an adult. It saved a life trying to maintain correct proportions for both beginner and intermediate artists. When you see such a high price for metal tools, you appreciate the cheap quality. I think it will work on many other small projects around the house!

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Band

The arms were a little crooked, but that can be fixed!

2 stars first. The hands opened slightly. Thus, this device can only be moderately accurate. I found it easy to set up and am pleased with the amount of aspect ratio options the holes offer. The image shows a bend or twist at the long end - the dots couldn't be closer. UPDATE: Since everything under $100 gets bad reviews, I tried heating the deformed areas and letting them cool on a flat surface. It worked! Now they are straight. Only about 15 minutes of fuss. Now it should work great. I'm…

Very nice tool but needs some modifications to work perfectly

These dividers took me to the next level of creativity! Now I can make an enlarged drawing from a photo, create a master drawing and transfer it to my watercolor page (or whatever) with tracing paper so I can keep trying different color combinations. The only thing I had to fix with the separators was that they don't snap and can slide off when transferring measurements. I replaced the plastic sliding pin with a thumbscrew that holds the dividers better. They're not precise tools, but they're…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Too stupid

Cheap, but they are cheap.

The plastic is very flexible and the tips do not run together. The locking mechanism doesn't snap tightly at all. The fully locked position still allows for easy translation shifting. Changing gear ratios is too time consuming and clumsy/inconvenient/inelegant. Only a limited number of holes means there is only a limited number of gear ratios. You will compromise. I don't like this tool. I see a lot of pretty good tools for $25 or so,

Pros
  • proportional divider. The Pixiss Proportional Scale Divider tool can be used to transfer an object onto canvas or paper while maintaining the proportions. Easy to use. Enlarge, reduce or measure the size of the drawing object.
Cons

A game changer for getting proportions right

Ideal for drawing or sketching precise proportions. It was easy for me to set up and use. I read some reviews that made me think it would be unreliable, but it's great for an artist. I think if you want to get into drawing you should spend money on an expensive metal version. The key for me was knowing how to "use and tune" this proportional divider. It is important that users understand each drawing, sketch or painting that may be required, to make some adjustments. to achieve the correct size

Pros
  • The Pixiss Adjustable Proportional Divider for Artists is an adjustable caliper ranging from 1:1 to 5:1 for maximum flexibility. Customizable for any object size.
Cons
  • Expensive

Learn to draw to scale with this

Correct proportions are the key to successful realistic drawings. With this tool, the box will maintain the correct proportions when copied as-is and resized to or from the original object. Adjust a set of pointers to the object's original size, and the other end of the pointer reflects the correct part of the drawing. Easily adjustable to maintain correct proportions; However, it relies on friction to hold the selected setting, so care must be taken

Pros
  • drawing compass. Use the Scale Divider as a lightweight drafting compass, vernier caliper, drafting compass, or architect's ruler for perspective drawing and drafting supplies.
Cons
  • Little things
